Brussels - Bamako
After reading " My Mercedes is not for sale" from Jeroen van Bergeijk earlier this year, I am leaving for the same kind of adventure on December 23th.
I will be driving a '96 Mercedes c220 station wagon, elegance model; a diesel with 260.000 km. Actually a good looking car that drives great.
The classic route: Algeciras - Tangier - Casa - Tan-Tan - El Ayoun - Dakhla - Nouadhibou - Nouakchott - Ayoun el-Atrouss - Bamako - Ségou - Koutienso (dropping of a load of aid for a Belgian project) - Bamako (where the car will be used as a "micro loan" for a cab driver and then I go by bus to Dakar, where I visit an old friend who now runs ViaVia)
I got my Mauritanian visa yesterday. Bot now my question... How about Malian visa? Should I apply for it here in Brussels? Or can I show up at the border and get a "laisser passer" there? That's not really clear to me...
Problem for me is that the Malian Embassy is only open at times I work and it costs more...
Any other advice?
